It’s always been suspected that the moon’s surface had more water than we originally thought. Confirmation arrived on Friday that made exploring the moon exciting once more. The moon has always been considered as inhospitable, however now hopes have arisen for a future astronaut outpost.

“We found water. And we didn’t find just a little bit. We found a significant amount,”Anthony Colaprete, lead scientist for the mission.

The 25 gallons discovered was only what they could see as a result of the space shuttle crash on the moon, if that one spot showed 25 gallons of water, how much is spread over the rest of the surface? There could be much, much more, an abundance of water would be ideal for a base camp, supplying not only drinking water but water is needed for rocket fuel.

It was NASA’s Oct. 9 mission in conjunction with the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS), that gave us the incredible confirmation announced Friday 13th November 2009— much water, in the forms of ice and vapor existed on the moon!

Top Football Sponsorship Deals

On Monday, the Standard Chartered Bank joined the ranks of rich organisations paying large sums of money to put their names on the shirts of leading European football teams/clubs. They agreed the best deal yet with Liverpool for four-years worth up to £80m (€91m).

Public spending will soon account for almost half the UK economy. Only in world wars has the British state assumed such importance in the past.

Gordon Brown has admitted for the 1st time public spending cuts are just around the corner as he addressed the TUC conference in Liverpool yesterday. We’ve been holding our breath waiting for Mr. Brown to utter the fatal C-word and all of a sudden we hear it four times in 10 seconds in the same speech!

This ‘game’ of waiting to see which senior minister will give in to become the first to admit spending cuts will be needed to tackle Britain’s £175bn deficit was becoming a joke….maybe things are finally changing?

Arnie has starred in all three blockbuster Terminator films, and now will be appearing in the new terminator film all thanks to technology!

California governor Schwarzenegger will be in the film as an image, inserted in from earlier films. Being the governor and all, he had no time to shoot the footage himself!

The killer robot from the 1984 original Terminator movie will be used to play the 61 year old. A press screening in LA confirmed this delight at the thought of being in movies again. He is definitely going to be able to make it to the premier on 14th may and holds director Joseph McGinty Nichol in high regard.

Christian Bale will be playing resistance leader John Connor, in the new movie dubbed “Terminator Salvation”

A recent review I read on the “Ain’t It Cool News” website said the film was “uplifting and hopeful”. not sure what that’s supposed to mean, as it carried on with Arnie’s cameo was pretty “cool” but Bale’s performance was “a little over the top at times”. Anyhoo I look forward to seeing it when it hits the UK on the 3rd of June, I’ll make up my own mind…..

So the other day I decided a blog would be a good idea. You know a place to inform, entertain and let me communicate my view to the world, and of course hear other peoples. So off I went into the big world of the inter-web, and found the perfect URL.

My first name. Couldn’t believe it was still available….So I snapped it up like a starving piranha, in a public swimming pool.

I bought the domain, and found hosting. Now for the content.

Absolute Blank.

What was I going to write about? Who was going to be interested? Wait a minute, what was the big deal about a blog anyway? So I started thinking ….. blogs are a vital role in social media, news coverage and analysis of stuff.

OK so they don’t provide up to the minute breaking news like twitter, the newest craze of social media, – but blogs give you more substance, thought and depth than those afforded by a 140 character text box.

So I figured I’d use this space as a personal brain dump, and general word vomit…if not I’ll sell the domain on…maybe to the diamond corporation that has the .com of my name!
